hop VS Apache Log4j 2

If you're looking for a visual and more intuitive way to load data to Neo4j, you might want to have a look at Apache Hop. Hop comes with tons of functionality to load data to Neo4j.

Apache Hop is a great open source orchestration platform with excellent native Neo4j support.

Have you checked out Apache Hop? https://hop.apache.org/ It is a very powerful no-code open source ETL tool.

You could look into Apache Hop. Open source with Salesforce connectors. Powerful free option for reverse ETL. https://hop.apache.org/

I would get familiar with an ETL tool. Apache Hop is excellent, opensource, and has native support for neo4j. It will make your imports easier to see the "flow" - also easier to share/collaborate with others. It also gives you support to use several methods (direct from RDBMS, from CSV, or running code like your python example) all from within the same workflows/pipelines, so you can use the best method/tool for a particular part of your process.

I used Apache HOP as an ETL to integrate the ERP data from RangerMSP into a Neo4j knowledgegraph. Then connected the ERP data to our other vendors data using their web APIs (Office365/sharepoint/teams), backups, infrastructure monitoring/alerting to create other workflows that performed automations and validations of our service delivery. The reporting is so so much easier, faster, and more contextual since relationships are created as the data is built/modified, rather then when queried as in an RDBMS.

I'm a pentaho pdi user that wants to give a try to Apache Hop. I've started the gui and learned a bit how to import from pdi, create a new workflow/pipeline, made some test. Now I've to move on but reading the docs at https://hop.apache.org/ I can't find informations I need:

You can try Apache Hop

I don't think that's a good example. While Apache devs are volunteers and Microsoft devs are employees, they were criticized for their slow response time and seeming lack of urgency until it was far too late.

The official website. The vulnerability was introduced in 2.0-beta7 which was released in 2013.

However, there are many open source projects that are widely used but not well-known, including cURL, ImageMagick, MyCLI, Homebrew, Apache Log4j, and OpenSSL. This article will take a closer look at these unsung heroes of the open source world. I do not want to give them a business model or financial advice in this article. This largely depends on the author's personal experience and values. I just want to raise more awareness about these open source projects.

What you need is log4j-core, what you downloaded is some kind of connector between log4j and JUL. Tbh I don't know what JUL is, but that's not important. You can get log4j-core on from the official website - https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/ or in maven repo. In case you're not using maven, I highly, highly recommend you using it for managing your dependencies.

> When it was first revealed in early December 2021, the Log4Shell bug was described as one of the most severe security vulnerabilities ever.

> The Apache Software Foundation, which maintains the open-source tool, quickly released a patch...

Apache horribly mismanaged this and did not release a patch until it was already widely known and being exploited in the wild. They also messed up and had to release several subsequent patches to actually fix the vulnerability.

Remember: this vulnerability was disclosed to them in November.

Think back to the Log4J event, were you affected? (https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2)
